This selection of subscription businesses in Europe showcases a strong presence of large, established corporations, predominantly in the telecommunications sector. Companies such as Orange, Vodafone, Telef贸nica, and BT Group are prominent, offering extensive global communication services. SAP, founded in 1972, provides enterprise applications and business AI solutions, while Prosegur, a global leader in private security, offers advanced solutions. The list also includes KONE, a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry.

How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
